The natural world has always engaged me passionately at all levels - intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.  Accordingly, it profoundly affects my art, providing me with both motifs and inspiration.  Many of my paintings are done en plain air;  others are more stylized, contemplative studio pieces.

It is simple art.   It is my honest response to the beauty of nature, rendered with love.
